Definitely, especially later in spring when southern Ontario is all out of ice. There are hogs in this lake for sure. A local we talked to end of the first day was showing us pictures of a 30 inch walleye he caught that day. High 20s not uncommon apparently. And even bigger pike. I think a member posted here before of an absolute shark he caught out there

That was me - Abitibi blue northern pike (aka shark) caught through the ice April 2nd last year:



Just got home from Abitibi today. We drove up Sunday and fished Monday and Tuesday. We went in off the Munro Lake Road. Caught a stack of walleye, goldeye, and sauger. No pike this year.

I think next year I want to try that side of the lake. We went in through Ghost River both times
